| Popis: | PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of uveal effusion in acute primary angle closure (APAC), chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS A total of 152 consecutive patients (287 eyes) with APAC, PACG, and POAG were enrolled in this prospective and observational case series study. Intraocular pressure-lowering medications were used and ultrasound biomicroscopy examination was undertaken to determine the presence of uveal effusion and measure anterior chamber parameters. RESULTS Overall, uveal effusion was evident in 40 of 194 affected eyes (20.6%) and no uveal effusion was seen in their fellow eyes. The prevalence of uveal effusion in APAC, chronic PACG, and POAG was 29.3%, 10.9%, and 3.1%, respectively (χ=226.63, P |
